PARIS - France's audiovisual watchdog agency said Friday it has reached an accord with a Lebanese TV channel linked to the anti-Israel group Hezbollah that allows it to remain on the airwaves in France.
The deal came after media regulator CSA had threatened to ban broadcasts by Lebanon's Al-Manar via a Paris satellite operator. Jewish groups complained the network had aired an anti-Semitic series.
The regulator on Tuesday gave Al-Manar a license it requested to continue broadcasts through satellite operator Eutelsat into France and many other parts of Europe, the CSA said on its Web site Friday.
The CSA took action was sparked in December, when an umbrella group of French Jewish organizations complained that Al-Manar had aired an anti-Semitic series in France.
The 29-part series, "Al-Shatat," was produced in Syria and broadcast throughout the Middle East by Hezbollah. Based on "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," it depicts among other scenes the killing of a Christian child on the orders of a rabbi so the blood can be baked into matzos for Passover.
CSA director Dominique Baudis, in a letter that accompanied the license, warned that some of the programs aired by the network in the past would violate the license's terms.
Some programming by the channel "depicts violence toward civilian populations in a favorable light," could incite hatred among religious or national groups and "bring trouble to the public order," he said.
"Your signature of this license implies therefore that you will formally renounce broadcast of programs of this nature on the satellite that comes under French law," he said.Al-Manar signed the license Friday, according to the CSA Web site.
France is going down the toilet.

I was about to post some condemning words about this, but
having known for sometime how anti-semitic (Jewish) the
French have been, with this news I feel something so deeply
solemn - prayerful, for now in France and in Europe in general, the Jewish people and Israel as a whole are in the hands of the Almighty God, the one God. How His holy
heart must be breaking.
I wouldn't be surprised therefore, if Israel didn't make a pre-emptive strike somewhere very soon. And maybe that sub
was French after all.
I wonder how big the bribe was on that one?
Going
They are in toilet I don't know when they went down in toilet they are maybe after surrender to NAZI Germany LOL!
I guess they have decided to feed the wolves. Wile it does tend to make the wolves happy, when the wolves finaly decide to go on a feeding frenzy there will be a whole lot more wolves.
Not smart, but it is real stupid to feed wolves in your backyard.
Get out while you can.
